Ohlins on R12R

Hi all,

There is group buy on the ADV site for Ohlins. I was seriously considering Wilbers (which I've used in the past) or Hyperpro (seem great) for my R12R but the price for the Ohlins is substantially less.

Has anyone tried the Ohlins on the R12R?

How much cheaper???
Last time I checked Wielbers was $1000 for front and back while cheapest I could get an Ohlins for was $1500, so thas that mean that Ohlins is to be had for less than a $1000??
I'v heard nothing but good opinions on Wielbers so I didn't think it was worth extra $500 for the Ohlins.
Havent got either yet since I dont need it till spring but will have to do it before Xmas just in case of running into backorders or somthing.
If I can get the Ohlins for same price or so I'll defenetaly go that way.

1431.00 for the Ohlins (rear shock -rebound, piggy back res., remote preload, height adjustment, and compression; front- preload and rebound)

1660.00- full boat Wilbers -almost the same features as Ohlins (rear-piggy back, rebound, compression, height adjustment, and remote preload; front- preload and rebound)

1100-Wilbers (same front shock but rear is more basic -- has preload adjustable by tool and rebound, no compression adjustment, no height adjustment).

The Ohlins has a neat installation. Preload knob goes under the seat (same as stock)/
